Chief Minister Dr. David Moinina Sengeh says the government has built more roads and bridges in the last five years than any administration before it even though building roads wasn’t one of the government’s top promises during the campaign.
Speaking in a recent media interview, Sengeh said the government has completed 418 kilometres of roads and 17 major bridges, with more projects still in progress. He said many people believe most of the roads in the country were built under former president Ernest Bai Koroma, but that’s not the full picture.
“Yes, the previous government built roads, and they talked a lot about it,” he said. “But we’ve built more and we didn’t even make it our main message.”
He added that Sierra Leone is now one of the few countries in West Africa with cross-country roads that allow people to travel across regions. “You can now drive from Freetown to Koidu,” he said. “Ask people who’ve been to Liberia or Guinea they’ll tell you that our roads stand out.”
The Chief Minister also addressed recent claims that the International Monetary Fund (IMF) had suspended its support to Sierra Leone. He made it clear that the country is still part of the IMF program.
“We’re still in the program,” he said. “What happened is that we spent more than what the IMF expected, and most of that spending was on roads.”
He explained that the IMF only asked the government to take corrective steps and adjust spending, not that it had cut ties.
Sengeh said the government has always believed in building infrastructure, even while focusing on human capital. “We didn’t promise to build roads and bridges, but we knew infrastructure matters,” he said. “When roads are built, development follows.”
He added that improving transportation is part of a bigger plan to improve lives across the country, and that the government will continue investing where it can make the most difference.
Useless statement
Freetown to kono road is slpp government that did that work, so let minister stop lying on social media
The road that was commission under the slpp government was kono to Guinea not Freetown to kono
And sad enough nothing happened about the road, they lie to the kono people with style
Now i see why you were call DOG
😂😂😂😂😁
This is the reason why Fatima describe you guys (Ministers) as DOG.
You didn’t worth such position (CM), it’s a disgrace to our nation to have someone like you as our CM.
So sorry to say this, but really sometimes I feel shame for those we call our politicians, how on Earth u guys where measuring works as if there is 2 mama salone 🇸🇱, we only have one salone 🇸🇱. Either be it APC, SLPP, PMBC, C4C, and so on u guys were there to make Serra Leone a better place like our neighboring countries, let measure or compere work with other west Africa countries I think that will be a good thing.
But u are here pointing on works u guys have made or making.
Since I was being given birth here in Sierra Leone I never saw, see or hear they they say this is APC street so any other political parties should not walk or pass through it, same way so as SLPP or any other political parties.
U guys where doing it for the better representative and also for the betterment of the one salone 🇸🇱.
So when we vote u in, we need a better development like order Africa countries, not like measuring Bo to Freetown, Kono to Makeni, Moyamba to Kabala, or Waterloo to Mile 91, when u check all these towns or districts are all inside Sierra Leone 🇸🇱.
So If Freetown has been well constructed by president Paul and his time ended without extending his work to another town or district, when President Peter come in let him continue where president Paul stop, so it’s goes till we have a better Mama Salone 🇸🇱.
I rest mah case here for now.
